Bow-Wow-Meow

Reach for this book when your child expresses feeling like they don't belong in their current peer group or when they exhibit interests that don't align with traditional expectations. It is a gentle, humorous tool for validating a child's internal sense of self, even when that self contradicts the labels others have placed on them. The story follows Fabio, a dog who doesn't like typical dog things like fetching or barking. Instead, he loves the moonlight and the quiet grace of cats. Through Fabio's journey, the book explores themes of identity, the courage to be different, and the relief of finding your tribe. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate social hierarchies and self-expression. Parents will appreciate how it normalizes the feeling of being an outsider while providing a joyful, affirming resolution that celebrates authenticity without requiring the character to change who they are.
